A scenic view of Cumbria

Many campers come to canoe, kayak, sail or wild swim in the Lake District waters, while others come to walk the fells or conquer the highest peak in England, Scafell Pike. Countless hiking trails connect the striking scenery, where campsites are plentiful. Windermere’s train station makes an obvious starting point for adventure-seeking campers who should know that while wild camping is not technically permitted, it is generally tolerated for remote, one-night-only pitches. You can also explore different options for camping near Cumbria on Hipcamp.
